Goodbye, Monday

Leave your keys when you head out
Guess our time is over now
Tell me all of this will be
More than a face and bitter memory?

Learning to rely on no one
Breaks you faster than a long lost dream

Goodbye, Monday
I guess there's more of me to take
Goodbye, Monday
I'm starting over again today
And as I amble through familiar aches
I long to just unfold
Goodbye, Monday
You will not ever, ever know, you won't

This unexpected gift of time alone
Can stay upon the shelf
If it's not obvious
I'd like to share it with somebody else

The lazy afternoons, shared solitude
I don't want what is new
(Love, for me, can it be forever?)

I've grown up around uncertainty
So you're leaving, is no surprise
(Love, for me, don't hope for forever)

Goodbye, Monday
And those warm smiles like candlelight
Goodbye, Monday
And what little desire I had to try
No such thing as sacrifice and no means
Left to compromise
Goodbye, Monday
You still feel right at home alone

Alone
Was I never alone?
Is it all I have known?
No, I won't let this defeat me

Goodbye, Monday
I hope you're sleeping well tonight
Goodbye, Monday
I choose to take back what's mine
Knowing what one wants and what one gives
This truth will keep me whole
Goodbye, Monday
And goodbye anytime I felt alone
